4.9 out of 5 stars from 273 ratings
  • Might have been 5 stars

    Dr Helen Geake is so knowledgable, sensitive, and an excellent communictor. Could Martyn be asked to stop butting in, and to stop trying to amuse? I found his 'joke' about his bird watching friend to be irritating and inappropriate.

  • Patreon previews

    I loved the tv show and enjoyed the podcast up to a point, but the last episode just seemed to be a series of previews for their Patreon offerings and lacked any depth

  • Podcast improved

    This podcast scratches your archaeological itch. Helen and Martyn make a great team! Interspersed with a variety of guests, this podcast is interesting and fun to listen each week. Upcoming Dani’s news section will add additional content. While it is still evolving, they make an effort to include archaeology from all over the world (not just the UK).

    Just a lovely, warm show, which gives you a fuzzy feeling inside. One of the very few podcasts I download and listen to as soon as it’s released.

  • Just like the television show, these conversations dip into a wide range of archaeological content in a way that sparks curiosity and wonder. The presenters and guests clearly love the topics, and I love learning about the techniques of archaeology in addition to the discoveries. The recent Christmas quiz was good fun. Please keep the episodes coming!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Back to Brancaster's Roman fort
Q: Given that oil companies have used underground sound reflections to find oil reserves, has there been any use of that technique in geophysics?
Seismics can be used to map underground formations similarly, and there are applications on land, whereas sonar is used underwater.
Back to Brancaster's Roman fort
Q: Has there been any work done on synthesizing data by combining the results of resistivity, magnetometry and GPR?
Yes, by using multiple techniques, we can amalgamate the different bits of information for a much more detailed picture of what's going on.
How do Roman villas get forgotten about?
Q: When trees and bushes have to be removed to allow scanning and or digging, is an environmental assessment done?
It depends on the project. Commercial projects might not conduct formal assessments, while research projects do weigh the costs and benefits of environmental impact.
How do Roman villas get forgotten about?
Q: Do archaeologists have to get inoculations due to the possibility of coming into contact with human remains, animal remains, trash heaps or old sewage pits?
Archaeologists generally don't need special vaccinations for excavations, although there are theoretical risks. Pathogens don't tend to survive long in the soil, and tetanus is the only routine vaccination relevant.
The lost abbey beside the Cerne Abbas chalk giant
Q: Is archaeology any closer to solving the mystery of the Roman dodecahedron?
There are competing theories about the dodecahedron's purpose, ranging from it being a nutmeg grater to an ornament highlighting mathematical concepts.
